Java 8 is not supported on WindowsXP, so installing will not work. You can try copying an installed JDK or JRE directory from a Windows 7 or 8 system and see if it runs; I had problems with that, but some say it can work. Tom On 27-10-2014 10:30, Nada Milosavljevic wrote: I have problem to i

I don't think that's a good move. Not at all. I would agree more at not supporting Windows 8 which has a small market share (although it wouldn't still be a good move either) than not supporting Windows XP. That will probably make me stick to Java 7 on a project I'm working on. Just look at the m
